Acres of landscape garden – influenced by ‘Capability’ Brown and Humphry Repton – are bordered by historic parkland and woodland at this National Trust property. Four lakes have paths around them which circulate through glades and wooded areas. Special events are held regularly, do check the website for details, and you can enjoy a hearty lunch or light bite in the Coach House Tearoom and pick up a gift, souvenir or plant from the shop.
